Congress keeps leaving its power on the table. A hollowing Pentagon, an unsustainable Iran war, a wedding hit by a U.S. weapon, and a ballot system racing toward November. Power left unused doesn’t stay in storage #uspolitics #kakistocracy open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

The Reflecting Pool shows how Trump handles correction. The Iran war shows why his mental fitness is now a national-security concern.

Sometimes it’s good to put things in perspective, for instance if you assume our country was once a caterpillar and that it will one day in the future be a butterfly, then that means we’re in the “indeterminable disgusting metamorphic goo” phase right now and that feels like it tracks

creenshot of an X.com post by Dan Koh claiming Trump is spending $30B on 10,000 more ICE agents, listing alternative uses for the money (ACA subsidies, ending prescription copays, eliminating medical debt) and criticizing the policy. Below the text is a TV news screenshot with a ‘Breaking News’ banner about a shooting in Minneapolis and on-screen text reading ‘$30 BILLION…’.
